I love Jane Austen, and I mean LOVE verging on obsession! I have read her complete works 10 times at least (re-reading it every year since I first discovered her); I own all of the adaptations, with the BBCs Pride & Prejudice being my favourite, of course! And when I lived in the UK I…

One of the things I love about doing Chic Vintage Brides is stumbling across small boutique designers and wedding professionals who work tirelessly to create unique and often bespoke items – and best of all, being able to share these serendipitous little discoveries with you! Today I would like to do just that and introduce…

Yay for Friday! Not long until the weekend now, just a few short hours until you can put your feet up and pour yourself that much earned glass of your favourite tipple…..which of course can only mean one thing, and this week’s Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons is a corker! Having looked at Grooms, Brides, Wedding Cakes…

I have long loved US wedding stationery extraordinaires Bella Figura and their lovely letterpressed invites – in fact I have been sharing their latest collections from the very start of Chic Vintage Brides! So today I am super excited to be sharing their new designs for 2014 – indeed their most gorgeous collection yet! Bella…

Good morning, and how was your weekend? Mine, I spent feeling all inspired by the turning of the leaves in the park and that low, warm sunlight that can only mean one thing – Autumn is on its way! As with my Spring wedding inspiration from a couple of weeks back, I decided to look past…

Gosh, I can’t quite believe it is Friday again….where on earth has the week gone?? It has whizzed by in a flash, but it sure was packed full of pretty! Starting on Monday with those simply beautiful Rue De Seine wedding dresses (this one was my favourite! how about you?); not wanting our guys to…

After starting the week with a post for the ladies (I do hope you didn’t miss those gorgeous dresses from Rue De Seine yesterday, they were just glorious!) today’s is definitely dedicated to our men. So far this year I have looked at wedding trends and wedding dress trends for 2014 (part I and part II),…

Morning lovelies! And how are we this fine Monday? No, no, don’t let the M word get you down for I have the prettiest of posts to start the week. It was somewhat inspired by Friday’s Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons – did you see it? Picking just 5 favourite wedding dresses from last week was no…

Whoop, whoop for the weekend ladies, not long to go now – get that Shiraz open and breathing! And what a week it has been! Starting with some Spring Wedding Inspiration in an alternative palette to the traditional pastels and pinks (what did you think?), more Spring wedding ideas with Mignonne Handmade‘s new beautiful Silk…

Oh my, do I have a treat for you! I do hope you have nothing important to do this morning because today’s wedding from Taylor & Porter is going to have you thinking of nothing else all day! From the bride’s & bridesmaids‘ fabulous forties inspired updos and glamorous makeup to the vintage car and…

This week is starting to look as though it might have a distinctly Spring feel to it! Did you see yesterday’s Spring wedding inspiration board? Aren’t those pretty shades of blue and greyed jade just the most fab alternative to the traditional pinks and pastels of the season. Today I am continuing our stroll into Spring…

Hello lovelies, another Monday is upon us. But despair not, because do I have the loveliest inspiration board for you today! Especially for all those of you coming to the end of Winter, I have mixed shades of blue with the greyed jade to create a bright and pretty palette just perfect for a Spring wedding……..

Today I am very excited and happy to be introducing you to one of my newest Etsy discoveries and favourite stores Dazzling Dezignz – the perfect place for those all important wedding finishing touches and beautiful personalised gifts….. The lovely Elisa is the owner, maker and designer of Dazzling Dezignz and in her own words she is a…

Wow, it’s Friday again and already another weekend is fast approaching! I hope the first week of March has been kind to you – showing some signs of Spring for all of you lovelies in the Northern hemisphere and  not feeling too chilly for those of us in the South. It has certainly started to…

It is no secret that I am absolutely smitten (verging on obsessed) with all things Downton Abbey – has everyone seen series 4 now? I fear I rather put my foot in it last year, with THE wedding. But fear not, for this isn’t a revelation, rather a proclamation of my undying love for everything…
